5 results about "Misinformation" patented technology

Misinformation is false or inaccurate information. Examples of misinformation include false rumors, insults and pranks, while examples of more deliberate disinformation include malicious content such as hoaxes, spearphishing and propaganda. News parody or satire may also become misinformation if it is taken as serious by the unwary and spread as if it were true. The terms "misinformation" and "disinformation" have been associated with the neologism "Fake News," defined by some scholars as “fabricated information that mimics news media content in form but not in organizational process or intent.”
